Brief Answer: Tumor Recurrence Detailed Answer: Hi, Thanks for your query. Based on the urine report it can be considered that the tumor has regrown from the left overs from the past lesion. A CAT scan would be very much necessary to rule out the recurrence and also to find out the exact cause of the abnormal cells in the urine. It is very common to encounter recurrences in the Bladder cancers. Hope, I answered your query. Please let me know if you have any doubts. Regards,
